Pasta is on his way to Boston. I think he is here to sign the deal...or maybe I am wrong and he is just here to get in shape for the season. Saw him on the tube last night at the Sox games with a bunch of Leafs players and Noah Hanifin. Hope his buddy Nylander isn't trying to recruit him to the dark side. lol I know the Jays are in town playing the Red Sox but isn't it awkward for a Boston player sitting with a bunch of Toronto fans?? But I guess Hurricane fans can say the same about Hannifan, even though he's from Boston. lol, I doubt Carolina was his top team to draft him and maybe I'm wrong.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUIaD_W6aaA&feature=youtu.beThis guy pretty well sums up how I feel about the Bruins. While the Canadian media is constantly pissing on the Bruins cause they made very little moves this season, I was all excited about the kids coming up through the system. It's all about the future and Sweeney somehow is doing it while keeping us competitive.

Unless there are setbacks in his play or injuries he should earn a spot on the back end this year ..

Did anyone read the 6 comments after the article..MacAvoy isn't ready for the NHL and is being forced in by the depthless Bruins. Really??

I think after his impressive debut in the postseason, he's a guarantee or at least that's what I was thinking all along. In saying that, a couple months in Pro wont hurt him either. Personally I don't think he ever plays with Providence..

MCavoy is not ready for the NHL. They dressed him in round one against the Sens and they ate him alive. Desperation move by a deathless bruins team ofcourse, but doesn't change the fact that this kid could become a decent player one day if you let him develop. Don't do the Make beliefs routine and rush him in as a kid and ruin him and then end up getting nothing for him in 3 years.

More than fair evaluation of the Bruins going forward.. I thought so as well. Except maybe for the (very small) part where almost every analyst seems to think we need to make a splash to show we're trying to get better. Wasting cap space on the wrong guy is just counterproductive.

I think he's ready based on his playoff debut but if not there's nothing wrong with some time with Providence. Edit: "they ate him alive"It was desperation because we had 4 D'men down but Charlie boy played over 20 mins a night in his first 6 pro games and it was the freak'n playoffs. I never heard one analyst say he looked out of place, I thought he was as poised as hell.

Personally I think MacAvoy has the capabilities to be the closest thing to Raymond Bourque that we'll see. Not saying he's gonna be AS GOOD, just saying he has a chance to be the best defenceman we seen in a long time. I don't mean to overlook all Chara has done for the Bruins, being a major player in the Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup. Just saying I love thinking what this kid can do. And he's a pressure player as quoted in one of the articles I read that was on here under "Articles of Interest"..The kid can reach super stardom!!
Does anyone think I may be exaggerating a little here or are you like me and thinks the kid can be THAT good?

Rule of thumb for most Players 200 games you will know what you have in a player , yes there are exceptions..

I agree, he looks like a good one but I'm not going to name comparables or try to predict his ceiling.

Madmarx/Kjc2 fair enough guys..I'll wait til Charlie plays a season and come back and say. "I told you so" and I'm not gonna sing it like Randy Travis did as that was one of his big hits..I have never been as excited for the Bruins to get season going and at the same time absolutely cant see them making playoffs. Sweeney has managed for 3 years to keep this team competitive while at the same time stocking up on our prospects. He may of got off to a rough start but he's looking like a pretty damn good GM to me. I'm very happy he wont bite on Duchene or Landescog at a ransoms price. Maybe he made a couple not so good signings but he knows the kind of players he's looking for. I think the Bruins Future is bright under the helm of Donny!!
I really cant wait for preseason to see who makes team and who don't. That's why its so tough to make moves now because DS don't want a veteran to take the spot of a rookie. Now isn't that a pleasant change.

I really cant wait for preseason to see who makes team and who don't. That's why its so tough to make moves now because DS don't want a veteran to take the spot of a rookie. Now isn't that a pleasant change. I'm optimistic and I'm excited for the season to start. If we have moves/tweaks to make, it most likely will be done in October, November or December. I'm not talking about Pasta or Spooner, that'll get done soon enough. We have a big mess of players and a bunch will be returned to Providence, hopefully 2 or 3 new people make it and that leaves (IMO) a lot of actual NHLers that we need to make a decision on. I'd like to Bjork play with Bergeron and Heinen with Krejci. After that it gets dicey. I'm thinking Backes and Nash as our 3rd and 4th centers. Then we have guys like Vatrano, Belesky, Spooner, Agostino, Acciari, Kuraly, Schaller and Czarnik. That's 8 guys competing for 4 NHL jobs in the bottom six. I think we'll sign Spooner for close to 3 million and then see that he still don't want to play the wing and we eventually move him in the first month of the season. If Beleskey looks anything like last year, Sweeney will probably package him up with a prospect and try to move him. Also I haven't even mentioned that we sent Debrusk, JFK, Senyshyn, Cehlarik, Gabrielle and Blidh back to Providence for seasoning. Who needs to sign players, we have too many already. We could have a small log jam on D as well if McAvoy makes it and Zboril proves his ready. Good problems to have.

I think Zboril and Senyshyn will need time in Providence and that's just fine, it'll do them good, unless they play themselves into a spot with Bruins.
I think Bjork is the real deal but usually players coming out of college takes a year in the minors to get more up to speed on the game. But he's rumoured to be a special player and could very well play on top 2 lines.
Gonna be interesting that's for sure..

Just drop the puck already.... They can drop all the pucks they want but there's no players on the ice, no fans in the seats and nothing televised yet. I'm sorry sweetie, I thought you knew that. Oh yeah, the Blue Jays suck even though they split a 4 gamer with the Red Sox who are also about to lose their grip on 1st to the Rays. Everything BlueJays were fine when Alex Antropolous was running things but for some reason I have yet to figure out, he left town and the Stooges from Cleveland took over. As soon as they leave Cleveland, the Tribe go to the World Series!! Go figure that one out cause I certainly cant.. Only thing left to say is GO YANKEE's!!!
